The spec sheets on this site say the M2i weight 11lbs, while the M3ti weighs 10lbs. Is this right? the M3's have a bigger enclosure, how can they be lighter?

There is more air inside the M3 
I would expect the M3 to weigh more, although...
On the Canadian site the weights are different; I don't know which numbers are correct :

Simboticus,
Thanks for reminding me to check this. We discovered some incorrect weights on the QS8s and QS4s early in the summer and obviously there may be more. There's a problem with listing the packed weight or the speaker itself. At the plant, they tend to grab an already packed M3ti and stick it on the scale.
I climb onto my bathroom scale with and without the speaker and subtract.

Alan, you left yourself wide open for that one.

I think even the M2s have gorilla ports. Alan, you'd better get back in here fast

Hello all,
Yes, it was a good setup line, ha, ha.
Maybe we should plan a speaker "weigh-in" at the Axiom picnic and settle this.

OK Guys.....
I have half of the problem solved!.....YES!!
I weighed my center channel M3, and then weighed my two surround M3s. The surrounds weighed twice as much as my center.
I then reversed the procedure as a check, and found that the center weighed in at half as much as the surrounds.
Science and Math Rules!!

Well then. All of your M3s weigh the same. So, uh... what did they weigh?
